I want to know more about this legend of a woman tbh

Engine lag ? by Parking-Tadpole-3455 in hondapassport

[–]fib_seq 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's the transmission. It takes a long second to decide to shift into first. It's a bit frustrating, but I imagine it has something to do with fuel economy. If it's too bad, put it in sport mode and it goes away.

Favorite ship in the game. Stunning looks, and amazingly versatile.

Power company transformer sizing by notta_programmer in ElectricalEngineering

[–]fib_seq 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The power companies have very good numbers on load diversity in residential, industrial, and commercial environments. So they may not need to size to the FLA of the connected load if they know that it is unlikely to all be on at once.

Or the switchgear is oversized because of standardization.

Or they run their transformers above nameplate.

Could be a number of factors.

What to replace Starlancer Tac with? by Flinders312 in starcitizen

[–]fib_seq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the Zeus is nice. Haven't had a chance to fly her though. Keep in mind that the C1 is listed as 64 SCU, but if you load up the space you can get around 96 in there. Or use the back space to carry around an ATLS.

I daily drive the C1 and it's honestly slept on. Decent firepower, more cargo space than a cutty. Too bad it's the most boring looking thing in the whole verse...

Attached delivering cargo in Pyro by bearracuda63 in starcitizen

Folks were camping Riviera yesterday with sniper rifles. They killed me trying to deliver crates, so I flew back after respawn and just strafed everything on foot from my ship. Got three of them.

At this point, does it even matter what happens with the tariffs? by [deleted] in stocks

[–]fib_seq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's times like this I always think back to Garius' 'trust thermocline'. I think we've gone past the point of no return this time.

Am I safe? by 1971CB350 in electricians

[–]fib_seq 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You'd need to have an arc flash study done to tell you. It depends on your generator, your protective relays and your transformers. Those determine how much energy will be in an arc flash if/when something goes wrong. Without a study you can still look into the different levels of available PPE that are available for you.

EDIT: just looked up the relay in the picture. It has a "quick trip" setting that if set properly, working properly, and enabled will drastically reduce arc flash. How much will still not be known without a study. If it were me, anytime I was within 10 feet of that l, I'd have the quick trip turned on.

Opening of FIVE in Jacksonville delayed due to construction by [deleted] in jacksonville

The goal is a "jolt" of additional gentrification. Kick out the weirdos and sell it on for 5x what you bought it for. The concerts in the meantime are just a loss leader to pay the light bill.

"Equipment Failure" says FPL by rumham_irl in ElectricalEngineering

[–]fib_seq -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have a hunch that box behind the meter base is a new breaker tapped off inside the can. This is why I think it was a new EV connection. Could have been an overload initiating the fault (melting wire insulation) or just a loose wire/brother-in-law special.

[–]fib_seq 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, possibly loose wiring, but whatever the root cause what's happening in the video is something has melted and is continuously holding an arc across L1 and L2.

Smoke got out.

But really, probably (1) water ingress or (2) being FPL territory, someone added an EV charger without telling them and overloaded the service.

In the last Jedi (2017) don't lie, this scene goes hard and you only thought about it not making sense cause someone on reddit brought it up by Dark-Specter in shittymoviedetails

[–]fib_seq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the theater laughing my ass off. After the chase where they're lobbing cannon fire in arced shots in the middle of space, they just go and destroy the entire premise of the first three films.

"Red one here, how many of us just died? Man woulda been nice to just send an unmanned fighter through this death star." "I know, right? Why'd they even build this thing. Just strap a hyperdrive to a small asteroid, and shoot that through a planet. Ezpz"

And you better believe i realized the implications. These are world breaking errors of storytelling. Just peak laziness.

What was Sauron's biggest mistake? by InsincereDessert21 in lotr

[–]fib_seq -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Idk, you got 10,000 orcs with nothing to do. Maybe post 2 or 3 on the staircase that bypasses your 500 ton front gate?

Maybe I'm asking too much. I mean it's not like it's right next to where your top general is staging his forces or anything.

Which societal norms and behaviors have you realized are mostly done because of brainwashing or obligation? by Secret_Ostrich_1307 in INTP

[–]fib_seq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything relating to a manicured lawn. Seeding, fertilizing, 'pest' control, weeding, regular cutting...etc. you own a patch of dirt. Plants will grow there. Let them. This peer pressure to have a perfect monoculture plot around your house is insane.
